I got a new backpack
I got a new backpack to replace my Timbuk2 Q Laptop Backpack, which I had been using since 2012. It’s showing its age: the inner net has a big hole, I stitched up a tear in the nylon top, and all the zippers are starting to deteriorate with aging threads.
So, it was time for a new one. I opted for another Timbuk2 backpack, the Authority Laptop Backpack Deluxe, which Wirecutter recommends.
I feel a bit sad that it doesn’t have the bottle opener that my 31-year-old self was so excited about, but I hope it lasts another 12 years or more.

Cette épopée brestoise en Ligue des Champions me procurent des émotions inédites. J’essaie de les maîtriser en me rappelant La Ballade des gens qui sont nés quelque part, mais ça n’est pas hyper efficace. Les larmes au yeux. ⚽️
Fini de lire: Le ciel ouvert, de Nicolas Mathieu. Une collection des textes du compte Instragram de l’auteur. Pas fan de la 1e partie sur une relation adultère, mais quand on passe aux vignettes sur la relation aux enfants, aux parents, etc. ça fait mouche comme dans ses romans 📚
Arthur Christmas, 2011 - ★★★
The idea of treating Christmas as a challenging logistical operation is quite amusing. The subsequent adventures, although a bit lengthy, are heartwarming and funny. I recommend it for young children. 🍿

Spotify drives me crazy with its song shuffle functionality. For example, the Apple TV app does not include a shuffle option. Instead, it applies the shuffle setting from other versions of the app you may be using. This is quite maddening.
My ideal shuffle behavior would be the following:
- Never defaulting to shuffle tracks for albums. I prefer to listen to complete albums in their intended order. Who doesn’t?
- Implementing a per-playlist shuffle setting. Some of my shorter playlists have a specific order, while I only use shuffle for the longer ones.

Here is a one-hour playlist of my favorite current French songs. I hope you enjoy it. 🎵
Elemental, 2023 - ★★★
Not so much into it at first. But eventually, you get caught up in the story. Like a movie adaptation of Little Blue and Little Yellow, by Leo Lionni.

The Strava-art drawings showcased on strav.art are incredible. Some of the drawings are so intricate that I wonder if some artists are cheating, and if so, how? 🍿
Central Intelligence, 2016 - ★★½
I watched the movie because the guy from Script Shadow recommended it. It's quite mediocre, but you can't completely dislike it since it is based on the premise that "bullies are not cool".

I lost my Klean Kanteen water bottle, which I had since October 2014. Thanks for the ride, bottle!
It had a few dents and needed some attention to stay upright, but we had a good run together.
I’ve just ordered a replacement, and it will be a Klean Kanteen again. I hope it will accompany me for another 10 years. See you in 2034 for an update.

Deadpool, 2016 - ★★½
The fun is really fun (cf. all the -1 in the Everything wrong episode). The fights are long and a little too gory for my taste.

(500) Days of Summer, 2009 - ★★★½
Still good.
It was my first rewatch in a long time, and I felt embarrassed by how close my younger self was to Tom. Better late than never.

I’ve found my go-to coffee shop for a great mocha in Rennes.
It’s my favorite since the one from the now-closed Café Craft, which served as my part-time office in the mid-2010s.
